When your life has been uprooted by an accident, you need someone who will treat your case with the utmost respect and resolve. If you’ve been injured on the road, at work, or from no fault of your own, we’re here to fight for you! Explore our list of legal services below to see how we can help with your personal injury claim today:
Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis -- there are no hourly fees. Your attorney is paid a percentage of the final settlement or award, which is typically one-third of the total compensation received. Doctors and any medical costs incurred are paid from the settlement money received and you are entitled to the remaining amount. If there are costs involved, they are also deducted at the end once the case concludes. We fight hard to win, so you are satisfied with the amount of damages received. Your return to good health is our first priority, while receiving the maximum just and fair compensation is a close second.
What's the fee structure?
The time varies based on the case. The seriousness of the injury and length of time to treat and heal are determined when we can begin negotiations for settlement or go into litigation. Usually, a claim takes a year, but may take more, or even less, depending on the seriousness of the injury. If you have been injured before, even recently, do not hesitate to call and pursue a new claim for injury.
